2 Global Navigation Satellite System Consist of ogps U.S. program o GLONASS Russian program o Galileo European program (fully operational by 2020) o Beidou Chinese program (by 2020: global BeiDou navigation system) Similarities in all programs (GNSS) o Will concentrate on GPS in this presentation
3 History of Global Positioning System (GPS) TRANSIT US Navy s satellite system ( ): Doppler shift to locate receiver on Earth The TIMATION project was initiated in 1964 where precise clocks would be flown in space to provide both time and position information Concept: Ranging from satellites TIMATION-1: Launch: 1967
4 History of Global Positioning System (GPS) In 1968, US DoD issued new requirements for precisely locating military forces worldwide o Navigation Satellite Timing and Ranging Global Positioning System (NAVSTAR GPS) concept was approved in 1973 o Initial operational capability (IOC) in December1993 (24 satellites available for navigation) o Became fully operational in July of 1995 (24 satellites operate satisfactory)
5 GPS Ranging Concept Trilateration in Space Principle of radio wave propagation: o Waves travel at a known speed o If the transmit time of the signal can be measured, then the distance between the transmitter and the observer can be determined Given the distance to 3 transmitters at known locations, the observer can compute his position
6 GPS Ranging Concept Trilateration in Space
7 GPS Ranging Concept Trilateration in Space Unknowns: Geocentric coordinates (X, Y, Z), receiver clock error Need at least 4 observations for a 3D (X, Y, Z) fix Same concept as terrestrial trilateration with two differences: 1. Targets (satellites) are moving (~ 4 km/s) 2. As a result, the geometry is changing as a function of time
8 Coordinate Systems GNSS-Derived Coordinates Z Axis CTP h H P f(φ,λ,h) = (X,Y,Z) h H + N Earth s Surface f(φ,λ) = (N,E) Mean Zero Meridian Geoid Reference Ellipsoid Mass center λ Y Axis X Axis Mean Equatorial Plane
9 Overview of GPS Nominal constellation o 24 satellites (21 satellites + 3 active spares) o 4 satellite vehicles (SVs) in each of 6 orbital planes o Why? Ensures that 4 to 10 SVs will be visible anywhere in the world if the elevation angle is > 10 Altitude: 20,200km Nearly circular orbits Inclination of orbits is 55 (wrt the equatorial plane) Orbital period is 12 hours In reality > 24 SVs (today: 31) All weather system 24 hours a day Uses WGS84 (ITRF realizations) ftp://tycho.usno.navy.mil/pub/gps/gpstd.txt
10 3 segments 1. Space 2. Control 3. User GPS Segments
11 GPS Signal Structure 3 Components of each GPS signal Carrier (sine waves) at 3 frequencies L1 fl1 = MHz (λ = 19 cm) L2 fl2 = MHz (λ = 24.4 cm) L5 fl5 = MHz (λ = 25.5 cm) Realized since 2010
12 GPS Signal Structure Code (ranging) pseudo-random noise (PRN) code Each SV has its own PRN code The C/A Code has a wavelength of 300 m and frequency of MHz The P(Y) code has a wavelength of 30 m and frequency of MHz (i.e., 10 times more accurate than C/A code) P(Y) code is encrypted for military uses
13 Example of Bi-Phase Modulation Carrier wave changes phase by 180 when there is a change in state of PRN code C/A code is transmitted on L1 and L2 (L2C since 2005) P(Y)-codes is transmitted on both L1 and L2 M-code, new military code on L1 and L2
14 GPS Signal Structure Navigation data - binary code message consists of: Coordinates of SV as a function of time (broadcast ephemeris) Clock bias parameters (of SV) Satellite health status Satellite almanac (for all SVs) Atmospheric (ionospheric) correction model parameters Takes 12.5 minutes for entire message to be received Essentials: satellite ephemeris and clock parameters are repeated every 30s Satellite time each SV keeps time in accordance with atomic standard on board Parameters used to relate satellite time to GPS Time and UTC (universal) time A receiver requires at least 30 seconds to lock onto a satellite
15 Pseudorange Measurements Assume SV clock and Rx clock are perfectly synchronized with each other 1. PRN code transmitted from SV 2. Rx generates an exact replica of code 3. transmitted code picked up by Rx (after some time the time it takes the signal to travel in space) 4. Rx computes signal travel time (by comparing transmitted code and replica) 5. Multiply travel time with speed of light: Δt c = d where c = m/s 6. Get the range between the SV and Rx
16 In the Real World Rx and SV clocks are NOT perfectly synchronized So the measured range is contaminated by synchronization error ALSO there are other errors and biases (discussed later) Called a pseudorange
17 Carrier Phase Measurements Another way of measuring the ranges to the SV is through the carrier phases Range = (total # of full carrier cycles + fractional cycles at Rx and SV) x carrier wavelength Carrier ranges are more accurate than code ones (pseudoranges) Because the l (or resolution) of the carrier phase (i.e., ~19 cm for L1) is much smaller than those for codes ( more accurate instrument )
18 Carrier Phase Measurements Why don t we use the carrier phase measurements exclusively? o All cycles look the same o GPS Rx cannot determine the difference between one cycle and the other o Therefore, when the Rx is turned on, it cannot determine how many complete cycles there are between the SV and Rx o The Rx can only determine the fraction of a cycle very accurately (less than 2 mm) o Unknown: Initial number of complete cycles called AMBIGUITY Unknown
19 Carrier Phase Ambiguities BAD! Initial integer cycle ambiguity GOOD? The Rx can keep track of phase changes after lock-on If no loss of lock occurs, the integer ambiguity remains constant over time If initial cycle ambiguity parameters are resolved then we can get accurate position determination Loss of count known as a cycle slip
20 Pseudorange Observable Equations
21 Carrier Phase Observation Equation
22 Satellite Errors: Orbit & clock: 2.3 m GPS Error Sources (1σ) Propagation Errors: Ionosphere: 5-15 m (2 code signals 0.1m) Troposphere: m ~20,000 km Receiver Errors: Code multipath: m Code noise: 0.6 m Carrier multipath: 1 50 mm Carrier noise: mm 50 km 1,000 km
23 User Equivalent Range Error (UERE) UERE quadratic sum of errors affecting the accuracy of measured ranges and is a function of Total UERE: About 7.5 m (~25ft) With GPS Modernization About 2.5 m (~8 ft)
24 Clock Error: Satellite Orbit & Clock error o Offset between SV clocks & GPS time is monitored by Master Control Station and transmitted in the navigation message Estimate of decorrelation of SV orbit errors based on baseline length o Worst case: db = dρ b ρ db: baseline error b: baseline length ρ: SV range dρ: SV orbit error (expressed in parts per million (ppm))
25 Satellite Clock & Orbit Error Type Accuracy Latency Updates Sample Interval Broadcast Ultra-Rapid (predicted half) Ultra-Rapid (observed half) Rapid Final orbits Sat. clocks orbits Sat. clocks orbits Sat. clocks orbits Sat. & Stn. clocks orbits Sat. & Stn. clocks ~100 cm ~5 ns RMS ~2.5 ns SDev ~5 cm ~3 ns RMS ~1.5 ns SDev ~3 cm ~150 ps RMS ~50 ps SDev ~2.5 cm ~75 ps RMS ~25 ps SDev ~2.5 cm ~75 ps RMS ~20 ps SDev real time -- daily real time 3-9 hours hours days at 03, 09, 15, 21 UTC at 03, 09, 15, 21 UTC at 17 UTC daily every Thursday 15 min 15 min 15 min 5 min 15 min Sat.: 30s Stn.: 5 min Satellite clock & orbit error: can be reduced in post-processing by using precise ephemeris o RTK cannot use precise ephemeris
26 Example Problem If I can tolerate a 1 cm error in baseline length and my baseline is 10 km, what is the maximum orbit error in meters? Solution Given: db = 1 cm b = 10 km ρ= 20,200km db b = dρ ρ Want dρ? dρ= ρ db/b = 20,200km ( /10) = km 20.2 m
27 Ionosphere Ionospheric delay is proportional to the number of free electrons along GPS signal path o Called the total electron content (TEC) TEC depends on: 1. TIME OF DAY o electron density reaches daily maximum at 14:00 hours (local time) o minimum after midnight o iono cycle reflects diurnal rotation of Earth 2. TIME OF YEAR o electron density is higher in winter than in summer o reflects the annual rotation of Earth around the Sun
28 Ionosphere YEAR SOLAR CYCLE o electron density reaches maximum value every 11 years o peak in solar flares (release of lots of energy) o can count the # sunspots and plot solar cycle
29 Ionosphere 4. GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION o electron density is lowest in the midlatitude regions and irregular in polar auroral (φ= N) and equatorial (φ= ±20 ) A 14h the red is at the Greenwich meridian, since we are showing Universal Time
30 Mitigating the Effects of the Ionosphere Use dual frequency data L1 & L2 o Ionosphere is dispersive medium o This means it causes a delay that is frequency-dependent o lower frequency greater the delay ( L2 delay > L1 delay) o ~ 5m 15 m (typical) o can be > 150 m in extreme solar activity, midday o L1 and L2 are combined to create iono-free (IF) linear combination which removes (up to a few cm) the iono delay
31 Mitigating the Effects of the Ionosphere Over short baselines users can remove the majority of ionospheric errors through differencing between receivers Over larger baselines there is spatial decorrelation What about single frequency users? Option A o Use broadcast ionospheric model (from navigation message) o Removes 60% of delay o Common model: Klobuchar model (coefficients are transmitted in nav. Message) Option B o Use corrections from one of the regional or global ionospheric services offered by NOAA & IGS
32 Ionospheric Effects If you are collecting data and you know the receiver is not BROKEN and you have lots of cycle slips, very noisy data (makes it difficult to process) o Check the iono activity (iono scintillation caused by electron density irregularities) What about lower elevation SVs? o Lower elevation o Longer signal path through the atmosphere o Effect is greater This is why we use a cut off angle of ~10
33 Troposphere Neutral (non-dispersive) part of Earth s atmosphere o CANNOT be removed by using dual frequency measurements (i.e., L1/L2) Affects L1 and L2 the same The longer the signal path through the troposphere, the more the effect This is why we use a cut off angle of ~10
34 Troposphere Tropo effect also depends on the temperature, pressure and humidity along the signal path through the troposphere 2 components DRY component: accounts for 90% of the effect WET component: depends on water vapour Models can remove the Dry component, however Wet component is difficult to predict or model o For short baselines with similar heights not a problem Effect is reduced through relative positioning
35 Multipath GPS signals arrive at the antenna through different paths o direct line-of-sight signal o reflected signals from objects surrounding the antenna Affects carrier-phase and pseudorange measurements Multipath distorts the signal through interference with the reflected signals at the GPS antenna Can significantly affect the ability to resolve the integer ambiguities
36 Receiver Clock Error Offset between the receiver s clock and GPS time Magnitude is a function of the internal firmware (200 ns to several ms) Clock error changes with time due to clock drift o Magnitude of drift is a function of the type of clock (oscillator) used in the receiver
37 Receiver Measurement Noise Receiver noise from the limitations of the receiver s electronics Good GPS receiver and antenna should have a minimum noise level To test the GPS receiver performance you can perform a zerobaseline test o Also a good test for cycle slips
38 Between Receiver Single Differencing Level of reduction depends on the distance between the receivers These are reduced These are amplified
39 What to do about receiver clock error? Model the receiver clock error along with the station coordinates Remove by double differencing between receivers and between satellites
40 Weak geometry Stronger geometry Dilution of Precision (DOP) Geometry is measured through the Dilution of Precision (DOP) dimensionless The larger the volume contained by the satellites, the higher the positioning accuracy (lower DOP values) Position accuracy = DOP x UERE
41 Dilution of Precision (DOP) The uncertainty in the receiver s position is indicated by the patterned areas, in (a) the position uncertainty is small (low dilution of precision), in (b) transmitter 2 is moved closer to transmitter 1. Although, the measurement uncertainty is the same, the position uncertainty is considerably larger (high dilution of precision).
42 Computation of DOPs
43 Sample of DOPs More information about DOP you find at this location: ution_of_precision.pdf
44 GPS Positioning Methods
45 GPS Point Positioning Standalone or autonomous positioning One receiver (4 or more SVs) SV coords are in the WGS84 system so the receiver coordinates will be in the WGS84 system as well Most GPS receivers provide the option to transform coordinates between WGS84 and many local datums used around the world
46 GPS Precise Point Positioning (PPP) Standalone or autonomous positioning One receiver (4 or more SVs) Combines precise clocks and orbit, while remaining error sources are modeled (multipath and receiver noise ignored) Post-processed static cm-mm with 2-3 hours of obs Post-processed kinematic dm level Requires long initialization times (~15-30 min) to achieve maximum performance resolving-errors/precise-point-positioning-ppp/
47 Relative GPS: Concept Reduction or elimination of: Remaining errors: - orbital errors - receiver noise - atmospheric errors - multipath - satellite clock errors - ionosphere (L1 only) ΧA, YA, ZA ΧB, YB, ZB ΔΧ, ΔY, ΔZ
48 Relative GPS Positioning 2 or more GPS receiver track the same satellites simultaneously Base (or reference) receiver/station known coordinates o not moving (static) Rover (or remote) receiver/station unknown coordinates o may be moving or stationary o Coordinates determined relative to the base receiver Use carrier-phase and/or code measurements Real-time or post-processing In general higher accuracy achieved using relative than point positioning (few meters to millimeters) WHY?
49 Static - Relative Surveying (1/3) Depends primarily on carrier-phase measurements 2 or more stationary receivers simultaneously tracking the same satellites Base receiver is set up over a known point Remote receiver is set up over a point whose coordinates are sought
50 Static - Relative Surveying (2/3) Observation or occupation time o Varies from 20 minutes to a few hours (or more days) o Depends on: Distance between the base and remote receivers Number of visible satellites Satellite geometry Measurements are usually taken every 15 seconds (or more)
51 Static - Relative Surveying (3/3) Most precise positioning technique; precision of: o Horizontal: 3 mm ppm o Vertical: 5 mm ppm Due to the change in satellite geometry over the long observation time span Can use both single and dual-frequency receivers for static positioning, but usually use dual-frequency (especially for baselines > 20 km)
52 Factors Affecting Integer Ambiguity Resolution Static versus kinematic o Ambiguities are generally easier to resolve in static mode Baseline separation o The closer the rover is the reference, the easier it is to resolve ambiguities Multipath o Even if 2 points are close together, the ambiguities will not be resolved if there is significant multipath Length of data set and geometry o Information is gained through the satellite geometry change longer observation times give better opportunity for resolution o The more satellite tracked the better Type of receiver o Dual frequency receivers can resolve ambiguities much faster than single frequency systems due to wide-laning Ambiguity algorithm o Some differences in performance due to the algorithm used
53 Fast (Rapid) Static (1/2) Carrier-phase based relative positioning technique 2 or more receivers simultaneously tracking the same satellites Only base receiver remains static over the known point during the entire observation session Rover receiver may remain stationary over the unknown point for a short period of time only and then moves to another point whose coordinates are sought Courtesy: Leica Geosystems
54 Fast (Rapid) Static (2/2) Suitable method when the survey involves a number of unknown points located in the vicinity (within up to 20 km) of a known point Rover collects data for a period of about 2 10 minutes depending on distance to the base and satellite geometry Due to the short occupation time for the rover receiver, the recording interval is reduced to 5 seconds or less After downloading field data depending on if enough common data was collected, the software may output a fixed solution (precision can also be 3-5 mm ppm) Otherwise a float solution is obtained (decimeter or submeter level precision) Both single-and dual-frequency receivers may be used
55 Stop-and-Go GPS Surveying (1/2) Carrier-phase based relative technique 2 or more GPS receivers simultaneously tracking the same SVs Base receiver stationary over known point Rover receiver travels between unknown points and makes a brief stop at each point to collect the GPS data Data usually collected at 1 to 2 second recording rate for a period of ~30 seconds per each stop Suitable when survey involves a large number of unknown points located in the vicinity (up to about 15km) of the Base
56 Stop-and-Go GPS Surveying (2/2) Receiver initialization o Survey starts by first determining the initial integer ambiguity parameters Once initialization is successful, precision is: o Horizontal 1 cm + 1 ppm o Vertical 2 cm + 1 ppm Need a minimum of 4 common SVs tracked by both Base and Rover AT ALL TIMES o If this condition is not met, then need to redo the initialization Rover is not switched off between moving to unknown points! o Need to track the same 4 SVs (at least) even during the move Re-occupy the first point at the end of the survey
57 Real Time Kinematic (RTK) GPS (1/2) Carrier-phase based relative method 2 or more receivers simultaneously tracking the same SVs Suitable when: o Survey involves a large number of unknown points located within 15-20km of base o Coordinates of unknown points are required in real-time o Line-of-sight (propagation path) between the 2 receivers is unobstructed Base receiver attached to a radio transmitter Rover is usually carried by backpack (or mounted on moving object i.e., car) Data rate of 1Hz (one sample per sec)
58 Real Time Kinematic (RTK) GPS (2/2) Base receiver measurements & coordinates are transmitted to the rover via radio link. Built-in s/w in rover combines and processes the GPS measurements collected at both base and rover receivers to get rover coordinates No post-processing required Precision is: o Horizontal 1 cm + 1 ppm o Vertical 2 cm + 1 ppm If post processed more accurate results are expected
59 Virtual Reference Stations (VRS) (1/2) Uses several permanent stations (3 or more) These generate observation data for a non-existing station i.e., virtual station These station then transmit correction information or corrected position to the RTK user Benefit: you only need one receiver! No base Station!
60 Virtual Reference Stations (VRS) (2/2) Precision can be ~2 cm for baselines up to 35 km! o Horizontal: 1 cm ppm (from closest physical base) o Vertical: 1.5 cm ppm (from closest physical base) Such networks are often sold with subscription
61 Best Practices Select the type of GNSS survey to match the accuracy/precision required for the survey omost accurate to least Static method Kinematic methods Post-processed kinematic method (PPK)»Can use precise ephemeris to remove orbital errors Real-time network»accuracy dependent on distance to closest physical station Real-time kinematic method»uses least accurate ephemeris
62 Best Practices Except for very low accuracy surveys, only accept positions when your position is fixed oa fixed solution means that the integer ambiguities are solved oa float solution means that N not solved and position is likely to have significant error (1 m or more)
63 Best Practices Use a precise ephemeris whenever it is available Cannot be used in RTK surveys due to real-time nature of survey VRS methods model both satellite and refraction errors oonly appropriate to use VRS when inside the envelope of physical stations in network Extrapolation of model errors can be significant when outside of envelope
64 Best Practices Only perform GNSS surveys on suitable sites obe aware the obstructions cause loss of signals to satellites and thus higher positioning errors oavoid obstructions to satellite signals obe aware of multipath conditions Reflective objects such as walls, chain-link fences, vehicles, etc owatch PDOP or RMS while surveying and analyze situation if sudden increases are noted
65 Best Practices When performing a real-time kinematic survey establish a second station with well-defined coordinates at start of survey owell-defined means at least an occupation of 3 min or more ocan use as a check point during survey odo this Whenever a float solution is noticed on the controller Periodically during the day to ensure that you are still obtaining good positions (should be within 1 2 cm)
